RDA and Cartographic Materials: Mapping a New Route

An ALCTS Webcast.

The announcement by the national libraries that RDA will be implemented has led catalogers of all material formats to gear up to new ways of doing things with RDA. Catalogers of cartographic materials are no exception. This session will help attendees in relearning the intricacies of mathematical data areas, learning how to apply the new 3XX fields, and understanding the “take what you see” principle. Take a different route toward creating bibliographic records for maps.

Learning Outcomes

Attendees will review changes and additions from AACR2R practices, with just a little background on FRBR as it might apply to cartographic materials.

Who Should Attend?

Those experienced in creating bibliographic descriptions using Chapter 3 of AACR2R and Cartographic Materials: A Manual of Interpretation for AACR2, 2002 Revision, Second Edition.
